Talent’s Just a Piece of Clay Mar 06, 2020

I look at talent as being a piece of clay. Everyone has to be molded into what the group needs. As a leader of people, which is one of the things I pride myself on. I have an innate responsibility to mold that clay. Clay needs tools and you have to grow to be a master potter. There was some talk about Bruce Willis, tigers, apes, and hitting golf balls 4 hours a day. Follow Jack Twitter Website Instagram

Kids Need Love Jan 27, 2020

Less than a six-minute listen.

I totally don't understand “my kid needs to get a scholarship”. You are talking about a three or four year period in their life which, by all accounts, we'd be a lot better in society if we thought college was the new high school. No matter what the statisticians tell you, none of that is the determining factor in a lifetime. In Western society, there are opportunities for sure and I'm a big fan of young people going to school one to mature. But it’s not the end all be all. But the fact that the majority of people don't even use what they learn, I included. Other than I learned that I have the capability to learn whatever I want. The one thing I do know is kids need to know they are loved, and love can be hard when you have to make decisions for them.

Digital Zombies Dec 17, 2019

The most powerful businesses and successful things in the world are digital. Imagine if the digital world was gone for 7 days. People would be in the street like zombies walking aimlessly not knowing what to do. Cars will crash into each other and people will just be walking in the street with their cell phone on blank. Some people wouldn't even know how to go to blocks to find the coffee shop because they can't put it in their maps. That's a movie right there. The seven days the Internet went down. I'd go buy some drones and take footage just so I could upload it as soon as the Internet came back. Think of the chaos that would create. Follow Jack Twitter Website Instagram

The Horse Whisperer Dec 13, 2019

Today on the dark side of elite, we have Dr. Larry Widman, On Twitter at Doc_elitemind Doc is my business partner at Performance Mountain where we help people in sport, business and life reach their peak.

We come from two very different backgrounds. He was raised in Omaha, Nebraska, and through his journey, which he'll talk about is his elite mind because he has one. He's brilliant. He's one of the best performance psychologist and elite mindset coaches in the nation.

"DR. Larry Widman" We all have different skills. All sets, and I don't have a lot of great ones. But one of them is I can read people so quickly. You have to be able to give assessments and observations of somebody that makes sense to them. I always say, you know, a person has to hit a baseball before the ball even releases the hand, because they spend thousands of hours practicing and their brain takes in all this information of where the movement is and how fast it's moving. You can't even compute it, it happens so fast, and you have to make a decision and how to swing before the ball is released or right after it's released. You have a split second to make a decision. When you spend thousands of hours observing people, you know, I mean, you have a chance to be a horse whisperer in that sense.

CDR Jack Riggins USN (SEAL) RET. It’s nothing different in SEAL team, nothing beats experience. Having experience in real time to hone your craft, and to keep learning these things, whether you understand them or not. pays off.

Today's Pirates Suck Dec 10, 2019

Pirates are the best! Why are pirates today so stupid? They used to steal and actually make money and have a life lifestyle. Today’s pirate works for some kingpin. They risk their lives. They get like nothing, right? They just take people get a ransom and they give them like a chicken. There you go, thanks. Thanks for risking your life and chicken and then every once in a while some special operations guys drop in and end them. Every SEAL would like to obliterate pirates. It's like, hey you're a pirate? I'm a better pirate, how you like me now? Pirates today are just stupid. Follow Jack Twitter Website Instagram

PRO thoughts on the DarkSide Dec 05, 2019

DR. Larry Widman

There's a cost when anything that you do, that you're trying to become great at and become great and especially if it's in rugged environments where there's a lot of stress. I mean, obviously, there's probably no better situation than a navy seal. There's a lot of other situations but in your situation, Being a navy seal and being a commander, and in that time period you were either just one of the platoon or actually in charge. There's a cost to what you see, to what you experience, the losses that you might see in your once you're leading other people, the things that they're going through in life or maybe their loss of life. Obviously, there are so many factors but there is a cost.

How can someone go out and sell or talk about leadership when they haven't lead anything. So much talk about leadership and leading in American culture in books and on tweets, If we have all these leaders we should have no problems in America, from military to social to none.

The cost or DARKSIDE is often not talked about and hidden, but is common in people pushing the limits of human endeavors. I myself am an ADDICT, IDIOT, SCOUNDREL and the list goes on.
